Summer time and the living’s easy… as long as you’re wearing the right pair of jeans! The best jeans for men to wear from June to August are the versatile and living on the light wash end of the spectrum. You can make them work at the office, at summer weddings, and even to the beach. Check out some of our favorite picks below.

Mark Wahlberg was photographed at the premier of the much anticipated film Ted 2 in a pair of dark wash 7 For All Mankind jeans. In his usual casual style, he paired them with a black polo and a pair of work boots. It turns out you don’t need to pull out all the stops to look great! This is a look you can recreate for any day of the week. Grab a similar pair of jeans here.

Raleigh Workshop, one of our favorite brands for American made raw denim, released a new line of men’s denim for fall, consisting of 12 new styles. They come outfitted with the details you’re used to seeing from the brand, like double stitching, unique pocket shapes and back labels. Expect new washes that have emerged as a result of workshop experimentation and Raleigh’s sixth sense for good looking jeans. The new styles fall under a more contemporary price point, ranging between $175-225, and are available at major department stores like Nordstrom, Saks, and Bloomingdales.

Ready to refresh your denim collection? Here are 6 pairs of men’s jeans we’re feeling this fall, each with its own story. One pair is inspired by the look of a 9 year old pair of selvedge jeans. Another is designed to change with time as you wear them. Whatever your style, you’ll find something to amplify your look below.

When faced with two pairs of great jeans and a decision to pick just one, we prefer to opt for the brand that stands for positive change in our ever-evolving industry. The denim industry’s waste has been a major concern for environmentally conscious consumers (and brands as well), which is why a brand like Flint and Tinder is a breath of fresh air. They’re producing men’s jeans that are made in the USA from limited edition selvedge and production techniques that equal little to no waste.

They told Ecouterre in a recent interview, “The goal is, and always has been, to reignite American manufacturing. We’re manufacturing greatness here—in the U.S.A.—in the most transparent way. We’re all working really hard to raise expectations, eventually even the bigger brands will play by the same rules.” See the full interview and check out their online shop.

As the air gets crisp and we all start trading our summer tees for fall sweaters, the search for transitional staples is officially on. Luckily, we’ve found some great in-between-season jeans for the guys to wear (you know, since it’s too soon to break out the heavy duty ultra-dark-wash raw denim). Check out some of our favorite men’s jeans below.

“The ascent of New York menswear label Public School hasn’t been the bump-free upward glide that their much-buzzed-about status would suggest. BoF sat down with designers Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne, and stylist Eugene Tong, whose expert touch has helped put the young label’s fresh mix of sportswear and tailoring on the fashion radar, to discuss the brand’s rebirth.

“I think people give me more credit than is due,” says Eugene Tong, senior style director at Details magazine, who styles the presentations of the burgeoning New York menswear label Public School. Tong is being humble. In fact, the fashion editor and stylist is arguably the quiet force behind the ascent of what is one of America’s most promising young fashion brands.

When it comes to womenswear, stylists with a sharp editor’s eye have long been one of the most potent weapons in a designer’s arsenal. Carine Roitfeld (Tom Ford, during his Gucci years), Melanie Ward (Helmut Lang) and Venetia Scott (Marc Jacobs) are amongst the most prominent examples, whose personal style and unerring eye have helped showcase a designer’s vision to maximum advantage. But on the menswear front, the phenomenon is less common.

Tong is an especially rare case: a consultant and collaborator who both personifies the label’s ideal customer and happens to be a leading tastemaker, known for having his finger on the pulse of the menswear market and composing compelling looks that a wide range of men want to wear…” (Read more)

Dudes! We haven’t forgotten you! While we know you’re more likely to be wearing the same raw denim day in and day out until they fall right off your bodies (or you send them in to us for repair), we think it’s a smart idea to have a few crisp new pairs of jeans in your wardrobe in case you have an office party or other social function to attend.

We’re live blogging from PROJECT New York for the next three days, hand selecting our favorite new products on the market. First up, our friends from Raleigh Denim just tempted us with this rad pair of men’s canvas jeans. The 10.5 oz oak mill natural canvas is highlighted with red top stitching, and if you turn them inside out, you’ll find hip bones screened on the cotton pockets. The paper bag treatment creates a crinkled texture that adds dimension to the silhouette. We’re sold.
